Use Comment Filters to Limit the Comments on TikTok
You can use the Comment Filter options to limit certain comments that you don’t want to see. If you enable this feature, everyone can comment on your video with certain restrictions.
Go to the Comment menu on the TikTok app and scroll down to the Comment Filters menu. You will get three options.
Filter All Comments
The Filter All Comments option will hide all the comments that people have made on your videos.
Filter Spam and Offensive Comments
When you enable this option, the comments that are identified to be spam or vulgar will be hidden.
Filter Keyword
This option will hide the comments that contain specific keywords. When you click on this option, a virtual keyboard will arise, asking you to enter a keyword. For example, if you are sick of the word Lazy, enable the Filter Keyword option and type Lazy using the virtual keyboard. If somebody comments on you with the word Lazy, that particular comment will be hidden.
